Location

Great place to rent Kayaks and buy lobsters from Steve, the owner. Tell Steve you are staying at the "Jewett's" place and while you probably won't get a break on price, you'll get a free ten minute conversation with a local! Be sure you put your lobster order in the day before as he "hauls" every day and your lobsters will be absolutely the freshest they can be. A five minute walk down the lane along the shore.

Take a trip back into time. The boat to Monhegan leaves daily from Boothbay and provides plenty of time to visit the Museum, hike along the cliffs, visit the numerous artists who summer here. Wear comfortable walking shoes as there are no public vehicles available on the island but gravel roads and many walking and hiking trails.

Hike the island where the settlers provided fish and sustenance for the starving pilgrims of Plymouth Rock, Mass. fame. Not many trees grow on Damariscove so the views are extraordinary every where on the island.

Attend a 100 year old church located right on the rocks. Summer services are held ten Sundays with an occasional Saturday wedding. All Saints is a popular local attraction due to the quaint nature of the chapel and its outstanding location looking out across the entrance to Boothbay Harbor. A must visit and don't forget your camera!.

Owner info

Year Purchased: 1996

About the owner: We are retired building contractors from the New Hampshire area and have summered along the Maine Coast for 25 years. We renovated this 1922 cottage with an eye to maintaining the classic features while adding all the necessary features for a comfortable stay along the Maine Coast. We even added a TV! Our grounds are professionally maintained in the classic cottage tradition of perennials and annuals with flowers blooming most all summer.

Why the Owner Chose Southport: Our cottage is located within an easy drive or bike ride to Boothbay Harbor and yet is in a quiet and secluded spot. The grounds are ample and well tended. The property shares a dock and float with the adjacent summer church where there may be a wedding from time to time.

The Unique Benefits at this House: Easy 1 1/2 hours drive to Portland, Freeport, down east and the Capitol Region. Dozens of activities every week in the Boothbay Region. Outstanding sailing, boating and numerous water sports.
